An interesting enchantment out of Mercadian Masques, Ivory Mask makes it so that you can’t be the target of spells or abilities. This enchantment was also reprinted in Eighth and Ninth Edition. While at one time it was a decent sideboard option against certain types of decks, such as direct damage, there is a better option than this card now. Whereas Ivory Mask requires 2WW, the artifact Witchbane Orb from Innistrad costs 4 colorless mana and does the same thing (plus giving you the chance to destroy any Curses attached to you, which actually was relevant at one time!) Still, some Commander players may have a reason to play both it and Witchbane Orb in certain sorts of defense-based Stall decks. It’s not a bad card, but it’s been outclassed in recent years.
